CIGNA CompassSM Helps Expatriates Navigate Through Health Care Around the World

CLAYMONT, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CIGNA (NYSE:CI) International today released CIGNA Compass^SM, an interactive web-based tool that gives expatriates and their families ready access to their benefit information and provides helpful guidance to keep themselves healthy. Combining on-screen text and audio/video features, Compass easily guides expatriates through their health care information. With Compass, finding a doctor anywhere in the world or seeking a second opinion for a medical condition is as easy for expatriates as turning on their computer.

“CIGNA Compass sets a new industry standard for international service and communications. Without CIGNA Compass, getting international employers necessary information in a timely manner, so they can provide needed information to their expatriate employees, can be challenging due to the nature of international regulations and customs”

Through Compass, everything expatriates need to know about their health care coverage or the status of their health claims instantly pops up on a computer screen and is accompanied by a friendly voiceover. Pod casts and other digital technology complete the Compass experience, providing expatriates with the ease and comfort of knowing all their important health care information is just a click away.

“CIGNA Compass sets a new industry standard for international service and communications. Without CIGNA Compass, getting international employers necessary information in a timely manner, so they can provide needed information to their expatriate employees, can be challenging due to the nature of international regulations and customs,” said Ken Vaughan, senior vice president for CIGNA International Expatriate Benefits. “CIGNA Compass provides key information in a user-friendly online format. No other international benefits carrier offers a comparable advantage.”

Compass supplements the CIGNA standard expatriate benefits kit and is exclusively available for expatriates through the CIGNA Envoy® secure web portal, where it is readily accessible anytime day or night.
